Keurig Coffee Maker FAQ

Q. I’m worried about the environmental impact of owning a Keurig. Can I enjoy the convenience of a single-serve machine and not feel terrible?
A. You definitely can. For eco-conscious folks and those who prefer to use freshly ground coffee, there is a Keurig-brand reusable coffee pod. There are some third-party reusable pods for sale, too. Be careful with third-party options, however, as they may not work with some brewers.

Q. I really only like to drink tea. Is a Keurig for me?
A. Keurig coffee machines can be used without pods to provide a serving of hot water. Some machines even let you control the water temperature, which is important when brewing tea. There are also special tea pods available for those who prefer to relax with a cup of Earl Grey or Orange Pekoe.

Q. How long does it take for a Keurig brewer to produce a cup of coffee?
A. It’s a super-quick process. Once you turn on the machine, it will heat up some water for brewing in less than a minute. You then pop in a pod, select your cup size, and get a piping cup of hot joe in less than two minutes. Some models give users the option of choosing auto-start times so the water will be hot and ready to go at a preselected time.
